About

Miyuki is a resident of the place where circles overlap. As a queer, multi-racial/lingual female mixed-media artist, she is happiest when working with people who embrace intersectionality. After graduating from Swarthmore College in 2012, where she was involved in queer Asian activism and making art, she received the Watson Fellowship to travel the world in search of queer artists and activists and made 8 zines highlighting what she learned under her publishing house Queer Scribe Productions.

She is a freelance artist, journalist, barber, translator, seamstress, lecturer and performer. Visit The Queer Barbershop to get a rad haircut on the cheap. Contact her at heymiyuki (at) gmail (dot) com for further inquiries, project ideas and pricing.

If you like my work, consider donating or buying one of my zines. I make a living by traveling around the world, making art and zines on queer activism, food, and textiles helping others discover the joy of stepping outside the box. If you donate $10 USD or more I will mail you a postcard from wherever I happen to be in the world as a little thank you gift. Thank you.

One of the main reasons why I make art is because I seek to create new perspectives and ways of looking at the world. My work is predominantly centered on my various identities—queer, Japanese, Hapa, environmentalist, feminist, etc.—each of which suggests specific imagery and narratives to turn mundane everyday objects into unexpected and beautiful art. I hope my art will invite intellectual, emotional and physical participation from the viewer.

Aside from conducting interviews with proudly out members of the LGBTQ Asian community, there are coming out stories, links and other resources.
